Meta-substituted phenylalanine derivatives

ABSTRACT

D,L-, L- and D-phenyl alanine derivatives of formula (I) defined in claim 1 in which R 1  is an amidino-, guanidino-, oxamidino-, aminomethyl- or amino group have been discovered which effectively prevent blood coagulation or thrombosis. The antithrombotically active compounds have low toxicity and may be administered by mouth, subcutaneously or intravenously.

The present invention relates to new proteinase inhibitors which contain a phenylalanine residue which carries a substitution on its phenyl ring. Variation of the substituent on the phenyl ring and in particular the introduction of hydrophobically substituted secondary amino acids led to the discovery of inhibitors showing improved bioavailability.

Proteinase inhibitors are potential drugs which can be used to control physiological processes induced and maintained by proteinases. For many endogenous and naturally occurring inhibitors, respectively, it has been shown that they can influence the activity of proteinases in vivo and alleviate hyperproteolytic states [see Horl, W. H. In: Design of Enzyme Inhibitors as Drugs, p. 573-581, (Sandler, M. and Smith, H. J., Eds.) Oxford, New York, Tokyo: Oxford University Press, 1989]. However, the therapeutic application of such inhibitors of relatively high molecular weight is limited due to their particular protein structure. As these inhibitors are not absorbed in the intestine upon oral administration on the one hand and exert an antigenic activity on the other hand, it was of great interest to search for synthetic enzyme inhibitors of low molecular weight.

The four classes of enzymes which are responsible for proteinase-dependent processes comprise the serine, thiol, metallo, and aspartate proteinases. Serine proteinases are proteolytic enzymes which possess a reactive serine residue in the active center. Enzymes which, such as trypsin, split off C-terminal peptide bonds of the basic amino acids arginine and lysine, belong to the trypsin family of the serine proteinases. In this group, those enzymes which participate in the defense systems of blood are of particular physiological significance. Particularly, they are the enzymes of the coagulation system, but also those which induce fibrinolysis, release kinin and produce the complement activation or those which themselves are components of the mentioned enzyme systems.

Blood coagulation is triggered by zymogen activation via two different pathways. The first, intrinsic pathway leads to blood coagulation via a chain of reactions mediated by blood constituents. The second, extrinsic pathway leads to coagulation via a shorter chain of reactions based on an interaction between blood and tissue constituents. Both ways produce the activation of the zymogen factor X into the serine proteinase factor X_(a) which itself catalyzes the activation of prothrombin into the fibrinogen-coagulating serine proteinase, thrombin. Being a common product of the intrinsic as well as of the extrinsic activation pathway, factor X_(a) appears to be a preferential target enzyme for inhibitory intervention in the blood coagulation process.

For the development of synthetic inhibitors for trypsin-like serine proteinases, benzamidine derivatives have been extensively investigated (J. Sturzebecher et al., Acta Biol. Med. Germ. 35, 1665-1676, 1976). Among them, amino acid derivatives containing a benzamidine moiety proved to be particularly favorable core structures (G. Wagner et al., Pharmazie 56, 597-603, 1981 and J. Sturzebecher et al., ibid, 639-641; UK Patent Application 2 007 663 A). Among these compounds, phenylalanine derivatives with a meta-oriented amidino group are selective factor X_(a) inhibitors while analogous compounds with a para-oriented amidino group are the core structures for the development of selective thrombin inhibitors.

Nα-tosylglycyl-3-amidinophenylalanine methyl ester (TAPAM; K_(i) =8.4×10⁻⁷ mole/l) has been proposed as a selective factor X_(a) -inhibiting amino acid derivative containing a benzamidine moiety and a meta-oriented amidino group (J. Sturzebecher et al., Thromb. Res. 54, 245-252, 1989). The most efficient thrombin inhibitor is the phenylalanine derivative Nα-(2-naphthylsulfonylglycyl)-4-amidinophenylalanine piperidide (K_(i) =6×10⁻⁹ mole/l) with a para-oriented amidino group which is designated as NAPAP (J. Sturzebecher et al., Thromb. Res. 29, 635-642, 1983).

Other types of selective inhibitors of factor X_(a) and thrombin, as well, are known: the first group is comprised of the peptidyl-arginine-chloromethyl ketones, e.g. Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-Ch₂ Cl which inhibits factor X_(a) (C. Kettner et al., Thromb. Res. 22, 645-652, 1981), or H-D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH₂ Cl which selectively inhibits thrombin (C. Kettner et al., Thromb. Res. 14, 969-973, 1979). A second group is comprised of the peptidylarginine aldehydes, e.g. Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-H (S. Bajusz, Folia Haematol. 109, 16-21, 1982) and H-D-Phe-Pro-Arg-H (S. Bajusz, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 12, 217-221, 1978), which inhibit factor X_(a) and thrombin, respectively. However, these inhibitors are relatively unstable and may cause undesired side reactions due to their reactive capacity. Further, selective thrombin inhibitors have been described: (2R,4R)-4-methyl-1-[Nα-(3-methyl-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-8-quinolinesulfonyl)-L-arginine]-2-pipecoline-carboxylic acid (R. Kikumoto et al., Biochemistry 23, 85-90, 1984) and the boronic acid derivative BOC-D-Phe-Pro-Boro-Arg-C₁₀ H₁₆ (see European Patent Application No. 0 293 881).

As therapeutically applicable, non-selective inhibitors of thrombin and of the plasma clotting factors X_(a) and XII_(a) as well as of kallikreins, enzymatic complement factors and trypsin, the methanesulfonic acid salt of the 4-(6-guanidino-hexanoyloxy)-benzoic acid ethyl ester (M. Muramatu et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 268, 221-224, 1972) and the dimethanesulfonic acid salt of the 6-amidino-2-naphthyl-p-guanidinobenzoic acid (see US Patent No. 4 454 338) have been described.

The anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects have been shown in vivo for all the mentioned inhibitors, whereas absorption after oral administration has so far only been observed for the aldehyde N-methyl-D-Phe-Pro-Arg-H (Bagdy et al., Thromb. Haemostas. 62, 535, 1989) and the boronic acid derivative BOC-D-Phe-Pro-Boro-Arg-C₁₀ H₁₆ (see European Patent Application No. 0 293 881).

The until now investigated thrombin inhibitors of the benzamidine type possess pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties which make them unfavorable for a therapeutic application. Their toxicity is relatively high with an LD₅₀ ranging from 10 to 50 mg/kg (B. Kaiser et al., Pharmazie 42, 119-121, 1987). The compounds are more quickly excreted from the circulatory system than, e.g., the arginine derivative (2R,4R)-4-methyl-1-[Nα-(3-methyl-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-8-quinolinesulfonyl)-L-arginine]-2-pipe-coline-carboxylic acid and the boronic acid derivative BOC-D-Phe-Pro-Boro-Arg-C₁₀ H₁₆, respectively (J. Hauptmann et al., Pharmazie 46, 57-58, 1991). Upon oral application they are not absorbed in the intestine (B. Kaiser et al., Biomed. Biochim. Acta 44, 1201-1210, 1985). The responsibility for the inadequate pharmacological properties is probably attributable to the reduction in hydrophobicity caused by the highly basic amidino function (B. Kaiser et al., Pharmazie 42, 119-121, 1987). Experiments aimed at replacing the strongly basic amidino function in highly effective inhibitors by less basic groups failed; such modifications resulted in a significant loss in efficacy (J. Sturzebecher et al., Pharmazie 43, 782-783, 1988).

Accordingly, therapeutically applicable inhibitors of clotting factors with excellent pharmacological properties have been designed and synthesized. For this purpose, we started from phenylalanine derivatives with a meta-oriented amidino group which have been proven to be selective factor X_(a) inhibitors (J. Sturzebecher et al , Thromb Res. 54 245-252, 1989). Based on the knowledge that an increase in hydrophobicity could cause a modification of the pharmacological properties, new inhibitor core structures could be found after reaching anti-factor X_(a) activity. Therefore, the basic amidino group has been modified and hydrophobically substituted secondary amino acids have been introduced, respectively. The compound Nα-2-naphthylsulfonyl-3-amidinophenylalanyl proline, for example, has been synthesized within this framework. It has been found, contrary to our expectations, that this compound does not selectively inhibit factor X_(a), but surprisingly inhibits thrombin. Furthermore, it has been observed that this compound possesses excellent pharmacokinetic properties. After subcutaneous application in rats, a relatively high blood level is reached which is maintained in an anticoagulantly effective concentration for a prolonged period of time. After oral administration to rats, the compound is absorbed by the intestine. This also applies to analogous compounds in which the amidino group has been modified, e.g. in derivatives having an oxamidino group. The new derivatives are also characterized by a reduced toxicity.

Such directly efficient inhibitors are thus appropriate as anticoagulants in various types of application.

By sulfonylation of compounds of structure III with an aryl or heteroarylsulfonyl chloride, respectively, or acylation with a sulfonylated amino acid halide in the presence of a base, compounds of general formula IV ##STR10## are obtained, wherein n=0 or 1, and R³ and R⁴ have the denorations given in general formula I.

According to a second coupling procedure, compounds of general formula IV are coupled according to the DCC procedure with corresponding amino carboxylates, whereby the compounds of structure IV are reacted with an adequate aprotic solvent with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and converted into compounds of structure V with the cited amino carboxylates or amines.

According to a third coupling method, compounds of structure IV are isolated after transformation into active esters with e.g. N-hydroxysuccinimide, 2,3,4,5,6,-pentafluorophenol or p-nitrophenol in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, or converted without intermediate isolation into compounds of the general formula V with corresponding amino carboxylates or amines.

According to a fourth coupling method, compounds of structure IV, wherein n=0, are transformed with e.g. thionyl chloride into acid chlorides which are finally converted into compounds of the general formula V with corresponding amino carboxylates or amines.

By a mild alkaline or acidic hydrolysis of compounds of structure V with e.g. dilute NaOH or trifluoracetic acid, compounds having the carboxylic acid structure of general formula V are obtained, wherein R², R³ and R⁴ are denoted as mentioned in general formula I and wherein R⁹ defined in R² =OH.

Starting from compounds having the carboxylic acid structure V, further amino acids can be coupled according to the previously described methods.

By addition of H₂ S to V having a carboxylic acid or carboxylate structure in pyridine in the presence of triethylamine, thioamides of general formula VI ##STR12## are obtained, wherein the denorations of the substituents R², R³ and R⁴ correspond to those of the general formula I.

By conversion of compounds of structure VI with an alkyl halide, preferentially methyl iodide, the thioimide carboxylate halides VII ##STR13## are obtained. The denotations of n and R² to R⁴ correspond to those of general formula I, Alk represents low alkyl, preferentially --CH₃, and X means halogen, in general, iodine.

Moreover, compounds of structure V with a low alcohol, possibly in the presence of a solvent such as dioxane or chloroform, in the presence of an anhydrous hydrogen halide, can be converted into the imide carboxylate halides VIII ##STR14## whereby the compounds having a free --COOH group are simultaneously esterified with the alcohol used. The denotations of n and R² to R⁴ correspond to those of general formula I, Alk represents low alkyl, preferentially --CH₃ or --C₂ H₅, and X means halogen, in general, chlorine.

To represent the target compounds IX, ##STR15## wherein n=0 or 1, the denotations of the substituents R¹ to R⁶ being analogous to those of general formula I and X=halogen, the thioimide carboxylate salts of general formula VII are converted into compounds of general formula IX in an alcoholic solution with ammonium acetate or an alkyl ammonium acetate, respectively, or the imide carboxylate salts (VIII) are converted into compounds of general structure IX in an alcoholic ammonia solution.

Compounds of general formula IX having a t-butoxy residue (R⁹) in the substituent R² can further be transformed through hydrolysis with trifluoracetic acid into compounds of structure IX having a carboxylic acid structure (R⁹ =OH).

Compounds of general formula IX having an OH group (R² or R⁹) can thereafter be transformed into compounds of general formula IX having a carboxylate structure (R², R⁹ =O-alkyl, O-cycloalkyl, O-aralkyl) with preferentially low aliphatic (C₁ -C₈), cycloaliphatic or araliphatic alcohols, in the presence of hydrochloric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid.

Compounds of general formula I wherein R¹ =oxamidino (c) are synthesized in the same manner as compounds wherein R¹ =amidino (a) via the intermediate products of general formulas II to VII. In the last step of synthesis, the thioimide carboxylate salts (VII) are converted with hydroxylammonium acetate into compounds of general formula I wherein R¹ represents the oxamidino group (c).

Compounds of general formula I wherein R¹ =aminomethyl (d) are also synthesized in this way via the intermediate products of general formulas II to V. In order to obtain the target compounds of general formula I wherein R¹ =--CH₂ --NH₂, the cyano compounds (V) are catalytically reduced to aminomethyl compounds with e.g. Raney-Nickel/hydrogen in an alcoholic solution in the presence of ammonia. The free bases obtained are transformed into salts, preferentially hydrochlorides, in an appropriate way.

In principle, compounds of general formula I wherein R¹ =guanidino (b) can be represented according to the same outline of synthesis as those having an amidino structure (a).

For that purpose, 3-nitrobenzyl-dialkyl-acylamidomalonates of general formula X, ##STR16## wherein Alk preferentially means --CH₃ or --C₂ H₅, are converted into 3-nitrophenylalanine (XI) ##STR17## by heating under reflux in a mixture of 3N HCl and acetic acid.

Compounds XII and XIII ##STR18## are obtained in the same way as the corresponding cyano compounds IV and V, the denotations of n, R², and R³ and R⁴ being the same.

By catalytic hydrogenation by means of e.g. Raney Nickel/hydrogen in an adequate solvent, the amino compounds of general formula XIV ##STR19## are obtained from structure XIII; these compounds are converted into the guanidino compounds of general formula I wherein R¹ =guanidino (b) by means of an adequate guanylation reagent, e.g. 1-amidino-3,5-dimethyl-pyrazole nitrate.

Compounds having the general formula I wherein R¹ =guanidino (b), oxamidino (c), aminomethyl (d) or amino (e), respectively, and with a t-butoxy residue (R⁹ ) in the substituent R² can, by hydrolysis with trifluoracetic acid, be transformed into compounds having a carboxylic acid structure (R⁹ =OH) which can then be converted into compounds having a carboxylate structure (R⁹ =alkoxy) by esterification with lower alcohols, preferentially methanol, in the presence of hydrochloric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid.

The biological activity of the compounds of the present invention was determined in vitro as well as in vivo. For characterizing the inhibitory activity in vitro, the dissociation constants K_(i) for the inhibition of trypsin and the related enzymes thrombin, plasmin, factor X_(a), tPA, glandular kallikrein, factor XII_(a) and plasma kallikrein, respectively, were calculated according to the formula ##EQU1## wherein [E] represents the concentration in free enzyme, [I] the concentration in free inhibitor and [EI] the concentration in enzyme-inhibitor complex (Dixon, Biochem. J. 55, 170-173, 1953). The smaller the K_(i) -value for a tested enzyme, the higher the affinity of the inhibitor for the enzyme and the smaller the quantity of inhibitor needed for the inhibition of the enzyme, e.g. thrombin.

Various coagulation tests were used in vitro to determine the efficacy of the inhibitors towards the thrombin-induced coagulation of its natural substrate fibrinogen. For that purpose, the thrombin time (TT), the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and the prothrombin time (PT, Quick value) were determined in human plasma.

The toxicity of the compounds of the present invention was evaluated by determination of the LD₅₀ (=dose that causes the death of 50% of the test animals within an observation time of one week) in the mouse after intravenous and peroral administration, respectively.

For the pharmacokinetic characterization, the plasma concentration of selected derivatives was determined in rats after intravenous (i.v.), subcutaneous (s.c.) and peroral (p.o.) application according to the following three-step procedure:

1. A physiological NaCl solution of the substance to be tested was submitted to high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) in order to determine its characteristic substance-specific retention time with the chosen test conditions.

2. The substance to be tested was diluted in vitro in rat plasma. This solution was also submitted to HPLC to see whether the characteristic peak of the substance once again appeared at the substance-specific retention time.

3. The substance to be tested was dissolved in physiological NaCl solution and administered i.v., s.c. and p.o. to rats in doses of 1, 5 and 100 mg per kg body weight, respectively. Blood samples were taken at time intervals of 15 minutes, from which plasma samples were prepared by centrifugation; those samples were also submitted to HPLC to see whether the characteristic peak of the substance appeared again at the substance-specific retention time.

To demonstrate the pharmacological efficacy, the substance to be tested was dissolved in physiological NaCl solution and administered i.v., s.c. and p.o. to rats in doses of 1, 5 and 100 mg per kg body weight, respectively. Blood samples were taken at time intervals of 15 minutes, from which plasma samples were prepared by centrifugation and investigated in the coagulation test (thrombin-induced plasma coagulation).

EXAMPLE 1 N-α-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-amidino-(D,L)-phenylalanine and -ester (6-11, Table 1). (3-Cyanobenzyl)-diethyl-acetamido-malonate (1)

10.0 g of 3-cyanobenzyl bromide and 11.0 g of diethyl-acetamido-malonate were dissolved in 100 ml of abs. dioxane. To this solution a solution of 1.15 g of sodium in 50 ml of abs. ethanol was added with stirring. The reaction mixture was heated for 5 hours in a boiling water bath. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure, whereupon the residue was taken up in chloroform and the solution was washed with dilute NaOH, HCl and finally with water. The organic phase was dried-over MgSO₄. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure and the residue crystallized from methanol/water. Yield: 80%, mp 143°-145° C.

3-cyano-(D,L)-phenylalanine (2)

12.0 g of compound 1 were heated under reflux in a mixture of 32 ml of acetic acid and 64 ml of 3N HCl for 6 hours. The solvent was then removed by evaporation under reduced pressure and the residue dried. The obtained product was dissolved in 80 ml of 20% methanol. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 6.8 to 7.0 by addition of 1N NaOH, whereby compound 1 crystallized. Yield: 55%, mp 220°-235° C.

The potassium salt of the desired product already began to crystallize out after about 11/2 hours. Afterwards, the precipitate was filtered off, washed with ether, dissolved in water by heating and acidified with 3N HCl, whereupon compound 3 crystallized. It was filtered off and recrystallized from acetic acid/water. Yield: 58%, mp 101°-103° C.

N-α-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-thiocarboxamido-(D,L)-phenylalanine (4)

1.5 g of compound 3 were dissolved in 20 ml of pyridine and 1 5 ml of TEA After introduction of H₂ S in the solution for 10 minutes, the reaction mixture was kept for 20 hours at room temperature. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate and extracted with 1N HCl. The organic phase was washed once with water and dried over MgSO₄, whereupon the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Yellow, amorphous product. Yield: 92%.

N-α-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-S-methyliminothiocarbonyl-(D,L)-phenylalanine-hydroiodide (5)

1.5 g of compound 4 were dissolved in 25 ml of acetone. After addition of 2.5 g of methyl iodide to the solution, the mixture was heated under reflux for 15 minutes in a water bath. After cooling, compound 5 was precipitated by the addition of ether. Yellowish, amorphous powder. Yield: 93%.

N-α-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-amidino-(D,L)-phenylalanine (6)

After addition of 0.4 g of ammonium acetate to the solution, the mixture was heated for 3 hours at 60° C. in a water bath, whereby compound 6 (betaine) already began to crystallize out. After 24 hours at room temperature, the residue was filtered off, washed with methanol and dried. Yield: 71%, mp 274°-275° C.

For the conversion to the hydrochloride, 0.5 g of betaine was suspended in 5 ml of methanol and 2N ethyl acetate/HCl was added dropwise until a clear solution was obtained and the resulting hydrochloride was precipitated by the addition of ether. Yield: 92%, amorphous product.

N-α-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-amidino-(D,L)-phenylalanine ester hydrochlorides (7-11, Table 1).

Portions of 0.5 g of the betaine 6 were suspended in 5 ml of the corresponding alcohol, the suspensions were mixed with 0.36 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid and the obtained solutions were heated in a boiling water bath until complete esterification had taken place (checked by TLC). After cooling, the tosylates of the resulting esters were completely precipitated by the addition of ether.

For the conversion to the hydrochlorides, the oily tosylates were dissolved in water and alkalized with 0.5N NaOH, and the released bases were extracted into ethyl acetate. After drying the ethyl acetate phases over Na₂ SO₄, the solvent was concentrated to about 5 ml by evaporating under reduced pressure. After acidification with 2N ethyl acetate/HCl, compounds 7-11 were precipitated by the addition of ether.

EXAMPLE 3 N-α-2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-amidino-(D,L)-phenylalanyl-(D,L)-piperidine carboxylic acids (83-93, Table 10) N-α-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-cyano-(D,L)-phenylalanyl-(D,L)-piperidine carboxylates (39-49, Table 6)

The compounds were obtained according to synthetic procedures A and B.

Procedure A: 10 mmoles of the corresponding piperidine carboxylate (SC, Table 6) were dissolved in 10 ml of DMF, mixed with 11 mmoles of HOBT and cooled to 0°. A solution of 9 mmoles of compound 3 in 20 ml of THF and 11 mmoles of DCC were added and the mixture was stirred overnight. The resulting urea derivative was filtered off and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, the solution washed with water, 10% citric acid, saturated NaHCO₃ solution and saturated NaCl solution, and finally dried over MgSO₄. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the crude products were purified either by crystallization or column chromatography.

Procedure B: 5.5 mmoles of the corresponding piperidine carboxylate (SC, Table 6) and 5 mmoles of NMM were dissolved in 10 ml of ethyl acetate, a solution of 5 mmoles of the acid chloride obtained from compound 3 and thionyl chloride in 20 ml of ethyl acetate was added dropwise and the reaction mixture stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with 1N HCl, 10% Na₂ CO₃ solution and water. The organic phase was dried over MgSO₄ and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. After addition of 20 ml of methanol, the solution was allowed to crystallize by standing at room temperature. Purification was performed either by crystallization from methanol/water or column chromatography.

N-α-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-cyano-(D,L)-phenylalanyl-(D,L)-piperidine carboxylic acids (50-60, Table 7)

2 mmoles of compounds 39-49 were either dissolved or suspended in 20 ml of methanol. 10 ml of 1N NaOH were added and the obtained solutions were stirred at room temperature until complete saponification was achieved (checked by TLC). 100 ml of water were then added and the resulting solutions were acidified with 1N HCl. The precipitated products were isolated and, if necessary, purified by either crystallization or column chromatography.

Thioamides (61-71, Table 8)

1.0 g each of compounds 50-60 was dissolved in 20 ml of pyridine and 1.5 ml of TEA, H₂ S was introduced in the solutions for 10 minutes and the reaction mixtures were kept at room temperature for 20 hours. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure and the residues were taken up in ethyl acetate and washed with 1N HCl. The organic phase was washed once with water, dried over MgSO₄ and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Compounds 61-71 were used as obtained without any further purification.

Thioimide carboxylate hydroiodides (72-82, Table 9)

1.0 g each of the thioamides 61-71 was dissolved in 25 ml of acetone, the solutions were mixed with a 15-molar quantity of methyl iodide and the reaction mixtures were kept in the dark at room temperature for 20 hours. Compounds 72-82 were then precipitated by the addition of ether and used in the next step as obtained without any further purification.

N-α-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)-3-amidino-(D,L)-phenylalanyl-(D,L)-piperidine carboxylic acid hydrochlorides (83-93, Table 10)

0.5 g of the thioimide carboxylate hydroiodides 72-82 was dissolved in 10 ml of methanol, the solutions were mixed with a 1.5-molar quantity of ammonium acetate and the reaction mixtures heated at 60° C. for 3 hours in a water bath. After another 24 hours in the refrigerator, the crystallized betaines 83-93 were filtered off, washed with methanol, ether and dried.

The biological properties of some representative compounds in the present invention are mentioned hereafter:

Tables 19-25 show the inhibition of the clotting enzymes thrombin and factor X_(a) by the mentioned compounds by means of the dissociation constant K_(i) (expressed in μmoles/l). All the compounds investigated competitively inhibit the substrate splitting caused by the two enzymes. Among the derivatives of 3-amidinophenylalanine listed in Table 19, there are a series of compounds having a high antithrombin activity, i.e. with K_(i) -values below 1 μmole/l. The thrombin inhibition is more pronounced than the inhibition of factor X_(a). The K_(i) -values for the inhibition of factor X_(a) are usually higher by 2 orders of magnitude than those for thrombin inhibition.

The compounds which are derived from 3-guanidinophenylalanine (Table 20), 3-oxamidinophenylalanine (Table 21), 3-aminophenylalanine (Table 22) and 3-aminomethylphenylalanine (Table 23) produce lower antithrombin activity, some of them, however, do have K_(i) -values for thrombin inhibition in the micromolar range.

When replacing the 2-naphthylsulfonyl protective group by a quinolylsulfonyl residue (Table 24) or a 2-naphthylsulfonyl glycyl residue (Table 25), respectively, compounds with an antithrombin activity in the micromolar range are also found.

Table 26 shows the inhibitory effect of some representative compounds in the present invention towards trypsin, plasmin, factor XII_(a), plasma kallikrein, tPA and glandular kallikrein. Compared to thrombin, trypsin is more weakly inhibited, the K_(i) -values are higher by one order of magnitude. The effectiveness of the compounds is considerably lower towards plasmin, plasma kallikrein and factor X_(a) (K_(i) higher by 2 orders of magnitude). The derivatives are practically ineffective towards factor XII_(a), tPA and glandular kallikrein. Therefore, the majority of the compounds may be called selective thrombin inhibitors.

Compared with earlier tested derivatives of benzamidine-containing amino acids (LD₅₀ 10-50 mg/kg after i.v. application), the toxicity is considerably lower for a series of compounds of the present invention, i.e. LD₅₀ values of more than 50 mg/kg are found after i.v. injection. This is particularly obvious when comparing NAPAP with those compounds which also show improved pharmacokinetic properties (123, 83, 186 and 190).

Tables 28-30 show the results of studies on the pharmacokinetics of representative compounds in the present invention and, for comparison, the values with NAPAP. The compounds to be tested were administered to rats intravenously (Table 28), subcutaneously (Table 29) and orally (Table 30), respectively. After administration, blood samples were taken from experimental animals at time intervals of 2 to maximally 360 minutes and the blood level of the compounds in the samples was determined by means of HPLC.

In comparison with NAPAP, the derivatives investigated show improved pharmacokinetic behaviour. Although the compounds are eliminated at comparable speed after intravenous injection (FIG. 1), relatively high, constant blood levels of the compounds are found after subcutaneous administration (FIG. 2). After oral administration, NAPAP cannot be detected in plasma, while some of the representative compounds tested in the present invention may reach comparatively high concentrations (FIG. 3).

In vitro, some of the representative compounds in the present invention have anticoagulant activity. In all cases, the thrombin time (TT) was the most prolonged value. This corresponds to the selectivity of these inhibitors which, among the clotting factors, inhibit thrombin most effectively. Prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), which is also influenced, besides thrombin time, by the enzymes which participate in the early phase of coagulation, is obtained by higher inhibitor concentrations. This also applies to the influence of the prothrombin time (PT) which represents the extrinsic coagulation pathway (illustrated for compound 34 in FIG. 4).

The anticoagulant effect of the compounds can also be demonstrated in vivo. After i.v., s.c. and p.o. administration of the compounds to be tested, the anticoagulant effect was determined in plasma of experimental animals (illustrated for compound 123 in FIG. 5). Like the concentration progression determined by means of HPLC in plasma, the antithrombin effect can be detected in the clotting test.

In practice, the phenylalanine derivatives synthesized according to one of the procedures in the present invention and used as such or as salts with a physiologically compatible mineral or organic acid are converted in appropriate forms of application by applying adequate pharmaceutical auxiliaries. Corresponding to the pharmacokinetic behaviour, there are in particular transdermal therapy systems such as plasters, but also tablets, dragees, capsules, suppositories, solutions, etc.

The dosage depends on the antithrombin activity, the toxicity, the attainable blood level, the bioavailability and the mode of application of the used compound of the present invention, as well as in general on the blood values, the weight and the general state of the patient, such that the proper dosage has to be determined by the physician. In principle, the dosage corresponds to that of known thrombin-inhibiting compounds and is comprised between about 0.2 mg/kg and about 20 mg/kg body weight; however, higher doses may also be administered. In an adult patient, the daily doses of a compound of the present invention therefore range from approximately 50 mg to approximately 1600 mg or more.

By means of compound 186, the conversion into 5 pharmaceutical forms of administration should be representatively shown.

EXAMPLE 1

Tablets with 50 mg of compound 186 as the active substance

Composition:

1 tablet contains 50 mg of active substance, 40 mg of lactose, 30 mg of cornflour and 1 mg of magnesium stearate.

Manufacturing process

The active substance mixed with lactose and cornflour is regularly soaked with a 20% ethanolic solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone, pressed through a 1.5 mm-meshed sieve and dried at 40° C. The granulate obtained in such a way is mixed with magnesium stearate and formed into tablets.

EXAMPLE 2

Dragees with 25 mg of compound 186 as the active substance

Composition:

1 dragee contains 25 mg of active substance, 20 mg of lactose and 15 mg of cornflour.

Manufacturing process

The active substance mixed with lactose and cornflour is granulated as described in example 1 and formed into oval tablet nuclei which are then coated with sugar. For this purpose, a sugar mixture consisting of 48 g of granulated sugar, 18 g of gum arabic, 48 g of wheat flour and 4 g of magnesium stearate as well as a mixture of equal parts of mucilago gum arabic and water, as a thickening agent, were used.

EXAMPLE 3

Capsules with 50 mg of compound 186 as the active substance

Composition:

1 capsule contains 50 mg of active substance and 100 mg of lactose.

Manufacturing process

The finely powdered active substance is proportionally ground with lactose and the mixture is filled in the indicated dosage into starch capsules which represent one-sidedly closed cylinders made of 2 parts that fit together.

EXAMPLE 4

Suppositories with 50 mg of compound 186 as the active substance

Composition:

1 suppository contains 50 mg of active substance and 0.95 g of cetyl phthalate as the basic substance.

Manufacturing process

500 mg of very finely powdered active substance are ground with twice as much liquefied basic substance. The preparation is mixed portionwise with the remaining liquefied basic substance and worked until a regular quality is obtained. Nearly at the limit of pourability, the mixture is poured in an adequate form and allowed to cool down at rest.

EXAMPLE 5

Injection and infusion solution, respectively, with 5 mg/ml of compound 186 as the active substance

Manufacturing process

0.5 g of active substance is diluted in 100 ml of water for injection, whereafter the solution is filtered and, if necessary, filled into 2 ml ampoules. The closed containers filled with this solution (infusion bottles, ampoules) are submitted to a steam sterilization at 121° to 124° C.
